I'm currently using an external harddrive for time machine, which unfortunately is only 180 gb. I have several virtual machines that I run, that take 10+ gigs each. My hd is full within two days if I use my VM's.
Seeing as how I'd like to backup my VM's as well as my regular stuff, my question is:
Is it possible to partition my external harddrive, say two 85 gig partitions (seeing as how the HD doesn't see a full 180 gb), and only have one of those partitions be used for time machine, and then be able to manually backup my VM's to the other partition?
I don't see why I shouldn't be able to, but before I go formatting and partitioning and all that, I figured I would ask.
